NDNU Bonner Leaders Program - These student social activists are engaged to volunteer with NDNU's community partners for a minimum of 300 hours per year and, in return, are awarded up to $10000 in financial aid. Each Bonner Leader is trained on effective leadership techniques and is availed the resources to begin to question historical social injustices and to offer solutions for materializing equality wherever the opportunity may manifest. In essence, we are transforming students into informed community activistsStudents gardening
